1937 flood, Corydon, Indiana, supplies for flood victims in front of Masonic Temple

Description:	Donated supplies are stacked along Elm Street in front of the Masonic Temple in Corydon, Indiana. The goods would soon be dispersed to victims of the 1937 flood. The flood washed away or severely damaged numerous homes in New Albany and Jeffersonville and left many families stranded. Flood victims from these areas, as well as local communities such as Mauckport, found shelter and aide throughout Harrison County. They were quartered in lodge halls and private homes in Lanesville, Corydon, New Salisbury, New Middletown, Crandall, Palmyra, and the Civilian Conservation Corps Camp at the State Forest. Corydon served as the relief headquarters where lodging was arranged and food, cots, clothing, and other supplies were dispersed.
